Meet The Team… or just me.

Hi everyone, I thought it was about time I introduced myself to you all.
I’m Sam and I’m the face behind SJF Golf.

I have been coaching golfers for over 16 years now. In that time I have been lucky enough to work along side some top coaches at some of the best facilities in Nottinghamshire and Suffolk.

I’m excited to announce that I was recently appointed the Head PGA Teaching Professional at Ufford Park Resort where I will continue to help golfers achieve their goals and develop the academy.

In recent years I have focused on creating more golf opportunities for females and children within the sport and I will continue to do this along side individual coaching.

If you would like some help with your game, please drop me an email and I will be more than happy to discuss how I can help you!

Please follow the link in my bio to get in touch.

PS… I never knew how hard it would be to get a reasonable head shot!

Do you practice the ā€œhard shotsā€?

According to approximately 26% of golfers consistently break 90.

During playing lessons with clients, I find a big aspect that causes high shot counts is the ability to play the ā€œhard shotsā€ well.

How many times have you been in the bunker and taken more than one to get out or hit it through the green?

I’m determining ā€œhard shotsā€ as the ones you don’t tend to practice. Awkward lies, bunker shots, shots over hazards, shots out of trees, raised chip shots… the list goes on.

Next time you schedule in a practice session, try to incorporate some ā€œhard shotsā€ into this session so that you can begin to feel more confident playing these shots… it may just make the difference!

Junior Summer Camps are back!
I have three camps / 7 days available in August.
Lots of fun games, coaching and prizes to be won.
To book your child onto one of these courses please email [email protected].

Golf taking big strides towards inclusivity - UK DIRECTOR MAGAZINES 06/12/2022

Golf taking big strides towards inclusivity - UK DIRECTOR MAGAZINES By Stuart Robertson, Doctor Golf Academy, Ufford Park Resort As a PGA Professional for over 30 years, I have seen many changes in the industry; some of these have made the game completely different to the one that I grew up with in the 80s. Published in Suffolk Director Magazine Autumn|Winter 2022

Which is better?
Does equipment make you a better golfer?

NOT ALWAYS! Don’t be too sucked into marketing. Golf clubs can help to improve in some ways but will not ā€œfix your faultsā€ as well as you think.
Sometimes changing clubs will help your game, improve your distance, gain a higher or lower flight. But it often isn’t that answer to all your problems.

2 shots here…

Shot 1
Putter - Odyssey 2 ball putter with added alignment line + Super Stroke grip.

Benefits - easy to line up, comfortable wide grip to help prevent additional hand / wrist movement, soft insert to promote a soft feel. Face balanced putter.
New, shiny, looks good!

Result - In the hole.

Shot 2
Putter - Putting Cleek from Worsley GC
Around 100years old! Hickory shaft, NO GRIP!

Benefits - Forged head for softer feel.

Result - In the hole
